The constitutional bicentennial period will give us an opportunity to raise the level of the American consciousness about the content and meaning of the Constitution. It will be a time to celebrate the Constitution as a living. vibrant document. not some arcane vestige of a past outgrown. The bicentennial will provide us with an opportunity to remind the citizens of this Nation that the Constitution belongs to all Americans. regardless of race. age or wealth. it protects equally the descendants of the earliest settlers and the children of our most recent immigrants. The Constitution is the source of our most cherished rights and liberties. but it is not a selfexecuting contract. It has to be implemented daybyday by the men and women of the United States of America.
